Wanted: Antique Microscopes by George Wale


Purchasing brass microscopes made by George Wale during the last half of the 19th century.

George Wale was born in the U.S. in 1840 from parents who emigrated from England. He initially worked with partners. There are known instruments signed "Hawkers & Wale" as well as those signed "Morrison & Wale". By the late 1870's he was working alone.

Also buying other kinds of antique brass microscopes and accessories. Old microscope oil lamps, prepared slides, and slide cabinets. Other types of antique scientific instruments also wanted.
